Healthy Freestyle images can look broken when an installed Cloud client lacks the private-network transport. Add a maintainer probe that checks the supplied client's wireguard-hub capability before provisioning, then validates the actual private connection to the image.

bun run devbox:verify:private-link <snapshot-id> <client> creates an isolated VPC, VM, and temporary WireGuard tunnel; enrolls the client; reads the session snapshot; and reconnects with persisted identity without another invitation. Startup waits for the child's hub-ready / connection-snapshot event with the exact socket value. Effect scopes await process exit and clean up cloud resources and credentials on success, failure, and interruption. A tested shutdown deadline handles an unresponsive child, and provider deletion retries only explicit conflict responses with bounded exponential backoff and a 30-second deadline per resource. Permanent provider refusals fail immediately; only successful deletion confirms cleanup.

Production image selection and VM contents are unchanged. The internal runbook documents the command and cleanup recovery. This operator-only tool is not imported into the app, API routes, or website; no product copy or locale catalogs change.

Validation:

  • Existing 8 GB Base image sh-3a917ad675fb4e458a3e55b02c612f27, baked daemon dbc4b56210592341acd1f51c420cd7b743152424: private enrollment, snapshot, and reconnect passed with the published, notarized Nightly client d175f9f64b1001c561b8001edbe54813f91cbf63.
  • The older installed client 46223d8245 is rejected before cloud provisioning. Updating that local Nightly installation supplies the required transport; a guest rebake cannot fix an old Mac client.
  • bun test tests/devbox-private-link-process.test.ts tests/devbox-private-link-cleanup.test.ts: 9 passed. The separate regression commit demonstrates stale socket paths incorrectly passed before the fix; real child processes and Effect TestClock cover readiness, early exit, shutdown escalation, interruption before the spawn event, cleanup conflicts, permanent refusals, stalled requests, and finalization after scope interruption.
  • bun run typecheck, targeted ESLint, and bun run lint:complexity: passed.
  • Temporary diagnostic resources were cleaned up. No existing VM was rebuilt or restarted.
  • Merged latest origin/main (74e79260a2) without conflicts.

Follow-up to #11789 and #11999.

Summary by cubic

Adds a verification script that checks an installed Cloud client can actually connect to a Freestyle image over the private network. Previously, readiness checks only proved the daemon runs inside the guest, so an outdated client missing wireguard-hub could make a healthy image look broken. Production images, existing machines, and application behavior are unchanged.

  • Runs bun run devbox:verify:private-link <snapshot-id> <client>, which probes client capabilities, then creates an isolated VPC, VM, and WireGuard tunnel to enroll, read a session snapshot, and reconnect with persisted identity.
  • Rejects clients without wireguard-hub before any provisioning and cleans up resources on success, failure, or interrupt; deletion retries only provider conflict responses with bounded backoff, while permanent refusals fail immediately.
  • Readiness waits for a process-emitted event rather than socket file existence, so a stale socket can't pass the check; unit tests cover this and interruption during client startup.
  • Documents usage in the devbox image runbook.

Written for commit 5473303. Summary will update on new commits.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a Bun-based end-to-end probe for private Devbox connectivity. The probe provisions isolated Freestyle resources, enrolls and reconnects a client through a temporary WireGuard hub, validates session snapshots, cleans up resources, and documents the command.

Changes

Private link verification

Layer / File(s) Summary
Probe runtime and readiness
web/scripts/devbox-private-link-process.ts, web/tests/devbox-private-link-process.test.ts
The process module manages startup, readiness events, output draining, graceful shutdown, and premature-exit handling. Tests cover readiness validation, shutdown escalation, and interruption cleanup.
Private resource and enrollment flow
web/scripts/verify-devbox-private-link.ts
The verifier checks wireguard-hub, provisions a VPC, VM, and temporary WireGuard tunnel, enrolls the client, reconnects with persisted identity, reads snapshots, and handles signals.
Resource cleanup and verification support
web/scripts/devbox-private-link-cleanup.ts, web/tests/devbox-private-link-cleanup.test.ts, web/tests/bun-test.d.ts
The cleanup helper retries HTTP 409 attachment conflicts, enforces abortable deadlines, and normalizes failures. Tests cover success, retries, refusals, timeouts, and interrupted finalizers.
Command wiring and usage documentation
web/package.json, web/services/vms/images/devbox/README.md
The npm script exposes the verifier. The README documents its requirements, private-link flow, persisted identity, and cleanup behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 54733

This adds a private-link verification command that provisions temporary resources and reads client snapshots. It may present untranslated command errors and can misreport snapshots containing non-ASCII data split across process-output chunks, so the command should be corrected before relying on it for accurate verification.

- Line 26: Replace the fixed setTimeout shutdown in the child lifecycle and the
100ms socket-existence polling in the startup path with event-driven

terminating it, and await an explicit hub readiness event before proceeding.
Update the surrounding child process and hub startup flow without changing
unrelated behavior.
- Line 162: The error handling in the verification flow must stop printing raw
String(error) to command output. Update the catch path around the existing
failure handling to emit a product-safe message with actionable next steps,
while sending resource identifiers and detailed failures through sanitized
internal diagnostics; also revise the runbook wording so cleanup-failure
guidance does not claim to expose resource names.
- Line 152: Update web/scripts/verify-devbox-private-link.ts lines 152-152 to
source the usage and user-facing failure messages from the project’s
locale-specific mechanism instead of hard-coding English text. Update

Updated in 5473303 after regression commit 0c84489. Cleanup no longer retries every error at a fixed interval: it retries only provider conflict responses using bounded exponential backoff, fails permanent refusals immediately, and caps each resource cleanup at 30 seconds. Successful provider deletion remains the completion signal; the installed SDK has no detach-completion event to await. Tests exercise conflict recovery, immediate success, permanent failure, a stalled request inside an uninterruptible scope, and cleanup after cancellation. The pre-spawn interruption report is disproved by installed Effect source plus a real-process test; details are in the thread. All 9 focused tests, typecheck, ESLint, and complexity checks pass.

33-33: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Decode stdout across chunk boundaries.

The child.stdout listener in command decodes each Buffer independently. If a multi-byte UTF-8 character is split across chunks, JSON.parse receives replacement characters and accepts altered snapshot data. Use one StringDecoder and append decoder.end() before resolving on close.

Proposed fix
 import { spawn } from "node:child_process";
+import { StringDecoder } from "node:string_decoder";
 
 function command(client: string, args: string[], label: string) {
   return attempt(label, (signal) => new Promise<string>((resolve, reject) => {
     const child = spawn(client, args, { signal, stdio: ["ignore", "pipe", "pipe"] });
     let output = "";
+    const decoder = new StringDecoder("utf8");
     child.stdout!.on("data", (chunk: Buffer) => {
-      output += chunk.toString();
+      output += decoder.write(chunk);
       if (output.length > 1_048_576) { child.kill(); reject(new Error(label)); }
     });
     child.stderr!.resume();
     child.once("error", reject);
-    child.once("close", (code) => code === 0 ? resolve(output) : reject(new Error(label)));
+    child.once("close", (code) => {
+      output += decoder.end();
+      code === 0 ? resolve(output) : reject(new Error(label));
+    });
   })).pipe(Effect.timeoutFail({ duration: "30 seconds", onTimeout: () => new Error(`${label}: timed out`) }));
